Work is continuing on KGOU's two remaining signal expansion projects in Ada and Woodward, and we've made a lot of progress on the Woodward station in recent weeks. We've had several components installed for the station that will be KWOU, including some on the broadcast tower (pictured).

We're still waiting for equipment from the manufacturer for the Ada repeater station. Once it arrives and is installed we can begin testing the KOUA 91.9 FM signal. For more information about KGOU's signal expansion projects, visit our capital campaign pages. It may be a race to the finish line for these two stations, and it might just be a photo finish!

Ring in the New Year with KGOU!

Whose New Year's Eve plans include four parties featuring great jazz spread across four time zones? Why, KGOU's, of course. We remember the "auld" and ring in the new at least four times with Toast of the Nation on Dec. 31, beginning at 8 p.m.

Scheduled performers include the Lionel Loueke trio, live from Boston, a friendly "Battle of the Saxes" in Chicago, the J.D. Allen Trio in Denver, and Dianne Reeves live from Yoshi's in San Francisco. See all the festive specials we have planned on our Holiday Programs page.

Three Minute Fiction: Round Six Begins

All Things Considered's Three-Minute Fiction contest is back for Round 6! The contest is accepting original works of fiction until Jan. 23 for its latest round, which will be judged by author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Submissions must be readable in three minutes or less, and for this round, one character in the story must tell a joke, and one must cry. Get all the details and read some of the best of the previous rounds at NPR.org.

From All of Us to All of You. . .

We at KGOU -- Karen, Jim, Kurt, Brian, Logan, Susan, Jolly, Laura, Cameron, Kathy, Patrick, Chad, Clay, Stephanie and Kevin -- wish all of you a merry Christmas, a joyous holiday season, and a happy and prosperous new year!
